Maxi Rodgriguez has run down the wing for me for the last time... :(

Funny coincidence, that leaves Sigurdsson's shirt number vacant.

By the by, can anyone recommend the Splinter Cell HD games?

Also, Brad Muir is on FIRE during the early Pach rumblings.

Sorry I'm so late, I went into a meeting right after. I mostly found what he was saying hilarious because I don't go into gaming side, but I imagine he is right (if not a little upset with how people reacted. You could tell Jeff and Ryan were trying to tell him not to take it so hard) in general about how NeoGAF (or any online community is) react to news.

Brad Muir was also very awesome, and I can't believe how much more entertaining this podcast is than their regular ones, which are amazingly entertaining. And I have two more from today alone to listen too. It's a good day.

Problem is he's constantly trollish and calling everyone fanboys. Then he goes on to show how completely clueless he is, like calling RTS games turnbased... Come on Michael, if you even knew what RTS stood for you would know it isn't turnbased. I'm sure he's not a bad analyst but his bullshit sometimes gets too much, especially when he acts arrogant about it.

Oh sure. I hadn't heard of him until today. Honestly, I find the business side of things such as video games, sports, or movies/television interesting which is where my draw towards him is. I could care less about his opinions.

Maxi has said he hasn't joined Old Boys. He's just in town for a party, according to someone who translated some article in Spanish.

@JimBoardman @discuit @frankly_lfc it has come from a few twitterers in #argentina but they've jumped the gun before the horse has vaulted

He's just dismissing that the deal has already happened. A lot of the tweets call it a confirmed deal.

Any rumors/news on Arsenal's transfer dealings? Besides Podalski?

The only two Arsenal stories of note so far are RVP to City/Juventus and M'Vila to Arsenal, neither seem to be progressing very much.

I think Almunia got released as well.

Is Joel Campbell expected to play with Arsenal next season?

Murphy who?

doubt it. spent the whole season on loan to get his work permit sorted out. now that he's a capped international, the work permit issue would be sorted out - but i'm skeptical where he fits into the system. i've only seen a little bit of him, but, I dunno. situation reminds me of Vela, who seems to be on his way out as well.

Well, Vela is more of a 9. Campbell is a winger or even a #10, he could work quite well at Arsenal... way more talented than Vela.

Apparently we lifted Omar El Kaddouri from Brescia. I only know that he's a midfielder (another one?!), class 1990, Belgian of Marrocan descent. We're buying everybody ... except Verratti.

That Harry video is fucking golden.

I've never understood sitting at a gig, never done it in my life (apart from Conchords at the O2 because it was all seated)

Sky Sports reckons we're signing Joe Mattock on a free.

I didn't know he was still only 22. Seems to have been one of those players who'se been around for ages. He was fucking quality until he got his big money move to West Brom and has been shit since. Tons of potential to tap into at that age though and would be a cracking signing for nowt.

He's a brawler as well so will go well with Madine, Reda and Ranger if we get him.

So I was reading this article about Preciado (RIP) and saw this.. Mou's level of success is just plain absurd.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho led the tributes from the Primera Liga for Preciado, writing an open letter on the Real Madrid website.

One of Preciado's high points during his six years in charge of Sporting came against Madrid when, in April 2011, his side won 1-0 at the Bernabeu. That was the first home league defeat Mourinho had suffered in more than nine years whilst in charge of Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Madrid.

M'Vila. Arsenal are snoozing and he's more than a simple holding midfielder. Do it, Fergie.

Although Arsenal are snoozing a bit, M'Villa is basically done.

So far Arsenal have bought Podolski and (practically) M'Villa. They also put a bid in for Giroud and are interested in Dempsey.

I think they need another solid defender though, dont know why they didnt push for Vertonhogen.
